I had a long and tiring day today.I went to have my theory test for my driving license this afternoon at noon,12:25 to be exact.And I got back at 5:30pm.During the whole afternoon,I spent more than 2hrs waiting in two long queues,waiting for my turn to have the test which took me only 10mins.Thats awful!My patience was wearing thinner and thinner but I could do nothing.I knew no one around.I mean many people jumped the queue if there were their friends ahead.I cant remember I waited in a longer queue than this before!I feel bad now even recall the scene.What about you?Do you remember the longest queue you've ever waited?And what was that for?Thanks for sharing.Good day to all of you!

The longest queue I waited for was to buy a ticket for a cricket match between India and England. I spent nearly six hours to get the ticket. This was long time back, more than 20 years ago, when there was no online booking and among other things.

Your case reminds me of how hard migrant workers in our country buy tickets to their hometown during Chinese Spring Festival.It may cost them days to get a ticket to home.

I'm like you. I had to wait very long at my driving center, but mine was waiting for my PDL. I had to literally wait for 3 hours! And that was during working hours. I had to make up some stupid story that I had a stomachache and had to go to the toilet. Hahaha.

I asked for leave that afternoon.I guess the most tiring part of getting a driving licence is not in learning how to drive but waiting till the time you are examed.

Oh boy do I have sympathy for you! I hate going to the DMV and try to avoid it at all costs. It's a sin that so many people jumped the line ahead of you and hopefully you won't have to go back soon!

Yes, I've ever have this experience. When I was in the supper market and the large store, I often wait in a long queue to paying up. I could do nothing but wait. Sometimes if I feel so hurry ,I could only give up to buying. I usually haven't patience to this especially in the super market. My god, I'll nearly crazy. I could only tell myself be calm, not be angry, wait. Thanks for sharing and happy mylotting.
